The album's title and seventh track, as well as the cover art, are references to the "Atavachron" alien time travel device from the Star Trek episode, "All Our Yesterdays".
Richards, with help from Ken Moule and Leslie Osborne, wrote and sang many of the songs that were a regular and popular feature of the series, including "Memories Come Gently", "Velvet Blue", "I Bet You've Heard This One Before", "Good to Me", "All Our Yesterdays", "When We Can Live in Peace Once More" and "If This Is The Last Time I See You".
